How to Make Beef Stroganoff The Best

  1. In a large bowl, toss the beef strips with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced onion and cook for another 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring until smooth.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  8. Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
